    The BSA Family

    Who else remembers the "BSA Family" from the 1970s/80s magazine adverts?
    They were all gathered round a table, with one of them sat down shooting a BSA air rifle. I can't remember if it was dad sat down, shooting an Airsporter, or if it was one of the kids, shooting a Meteor.
    I can't find the picture anywhere on the internet.
    Please tell me I'm not going daft, and this was a real advert.
    Anyone able to post the pic?
    I'd like to download it into one of my files.
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    I know the picture you mean, but I have always wondered who was the Lad on the box of the Webley Premier ?

    Don't remember the BSA family, but my teenaged self certainly did recall the comely young lady on the Milbro Cougar ad (come to think of it that may have been a deliberate choice of model and pistol name).

    I've got the poster of that ad, obviously it was very cold in the studio the day the photo was taken.
